The coldest winter in 100 years?!? Is this what I must come back to after frolicking in the balmy 80 degree temperatures of the Caribbean? Are the gods trying to get back at me or is this an example of the evil eye at work?

I can't help but feel a little grateful that this time next year I won't be dealing with the dreary winter of Germany. Although the temperatures do get cold at times, the weather in Barcelona appears to be consistently better than in Deutschland. At least I hope so.

Unfortunately, it's going to be a little longer before I find out for myself. Max has been informed it might take as long as three months before he receives the appropriate permits to work in Spain. We had scheduled a house-hunting trip for next week, but this might have to be rescheduled until we know for sure when we are moving. I feel anxious to begin this new phase in my life, but I suppose I'd better get used to the Southern Mediterranean concept of time.

I feel the sun and sand calling me. Any chance I could just fly back to the Caribbean? No? In that case, you will find me and Charlie huddled under the pile of blankets in my bedroom.

Call me went winter is over or when that damn paperwork from Spain shows up, ok?

And I was just commenting to a friend today that it has been crazy warm this year. I have been wearing a light jacket in the morning, but I have yet to need gloves when out walking. You must be hogging all the cold!

I hope it eases soon, and you guys get the go-ahead for the move quickly. Waiting is hard! Welcome home!

Well Dianne, my heart bleeds for you...NOT,LOL.. We just came back from two weeks in Calgary where the temps were -24 C for the whole to weeks. Now here in T-Dot we are expecting one week of -30 C starting tonight, brrr...ciao

I know this sounds completely insane, but I actually WISH it was colder here! Our winters in the northeast are turning into Spring time weather. We've got virtually no snow so far this year, so PLEASE blow some of that white stuff my way!
